Watch the Instagram Live here

A few years ago I found a PHP hack that allowed me to broadcast my laptop and my drawing tablet to Instagram Live. At the time Instagram only allowed people to broadcast from their phone camera.

I had tried it a few times and it was kind of fun. But very quickly they "fixed" this workaround and shut it down.

Then recently when I was looking at the web version of Instagram I saw that they now have finally added the ability to broadcast from OBS streaming software on a computer.

So I set up an instance in OBS with a vertical format and added my webcam and drawing tablet to test it out while drawing my new fictional children's comic series "Bobert & the Monster.

It seems to work pretty well! 😀
